Obama Tells Men’s Health About Sneaking Smokes, Bowling

October 10, 2008

The new Men’s Health has Obama on the cover, and asks him questions about his men’s health, including his on-again off-again smoking habit. His answers are, as usual, impeccably politic but still fascinating. He says he was “never really a heavy smoker” — can you relate? — but during the campaign he sometimes “fell off the wagon and bummed one,” and besides, “seeing as I’m running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack.” It’s a wonder Bloomberg even consented to take the guy’s phone calls, but many New Yorkers probably want to vote for him twice now. Also, he works out six days a week: “I’ll lift one day do cardio the next.” Our identification turns to admiration! He says a lot of other adorable stuff, but then moves to remodeling the White House, “The bowling alley, I understand, offers us some potential for expansion.” Oh, Barry, there goes Pennsylvania again! Better follow up with an interview in Guns & Ammo.
